Jimmy’s great-grandfather William was the son of Thomas Fallon and Louisa Stickevers/Stickever. Jimmy’s great-grandmother Mary was born in New York, the daughter of James P./Henry Monahan and Mary Martha Worth; Martha was born in Spain, though of Irish descent.

Jimmy’s paternal grandmother was Luise/Louise Schalla (the daughter of Karl/Charles Friedrich August Schalla and Luise “Lizzie”/Elizabeth Ganz).

He looks hispanic not even typical south euro. If it’s not native it must be due to one of those finno ugric, north asiatic indigenous ethnicities. The thing is they usually dont have such tan olive skin like latins or mideasterners especially the mixed ones.

I suppose that by hispanic(real hispanics are white europeans) you means mestizo. I think his skin would perfectly fit in Ireland or Germany but he has another features like his eyes that seem to be mongoloid as you have said.

Sami people are the only indigenous people in Northern Europe. Inuits are from Canada and Greenland, not Scandinavia. And Jimmy’s Norwegian ancestor was not of Sami ancestry (even if he had some, it would be to small of an amount to actually affect Jimmy’s appearance anyway).

If you by Asians mean Samis, then yes, they are. By any reasonable definition, Samis are indigenous to Northern Europe. I don’t know how “Asian” they can be considered though. Their origin is disputed (although an Eastern origin seems most likely), and if it is in fact Asian, they are as Asian as Finns.

Is “invaded” really the word you want to use in association with the Samis? Do you know anything about their traditional lifestyle?

Born in Ireland though gel and have spent plenty of time there so I’ve been to quite a few countries and I’m speaking from personal knowledge. I try to use scientific links to back up what I say which is more than some people do. :)

I was pulled up for my blue eyes in England, so they must be unusual.
Any blue eyes in Britain often come from being of Irish descent – that has usually been the case, whenever I’ve checked.
In Ireland, the people are so blue-eyed its taken for granted. In England, brown eyes are taken for granted. That is the situation.

Where did you go London? And are you talking about Native Brits? English people that have ancestry from Britain and Ireland are usually blue eyed. There are a minority Irish and British with brown eyes. (I’m of course talking about people with deep roots in Britain and Ireland and not people with ancestry from outside this area e.g. relatively recent immigrants). The UK now has a very large immigrant population but I’m sure you know the difference. People in the more southern counties of England are more likely to be brown eyed.

Here is a map of blue eyes in Britain and Ireland. This was done by Britainsdna. It is also using very strict criteria of blue eyes in that it is pure blue not blue green or someone with central heterochromia. It is not the same as light eyes which would also include grey eyes, blue-green, green eyes etc. If light eyes the percentages in both Britain and Ireland would be much higher.

If it was light eyes Ireland would be 80% and over but as I explained the study done by Britainsdna was on “pure blue eyes”. Many people have light eyes but not just blue eyes. That study is not hog wash.

Viking influence is not the reason people are blue eyed. Vikings are only a minority influence on genetics in Britain and Ireland. You appear to be trying to make Britain out to be darker than it is. My ancestry is all Irish but I try to have balanced views and also think that genetic data can be useful because it is scientific. Many people have agendas and don’t always give accurate information. There is no reason for the English to be mostly brown eyed and they aren’t.

Have you read info on the PoBI study done? This is the most in-depth and most recent genetic study done on the UK.

Whats even with that discussion? Brits are majorly composed of ancient southern european ethnicities it goes way back to when Basques and Iberians travelled and settled in todays Britain. Brits are basically the spaniards of the north minus the ones that have more Anglo-Saxon and scandinavian heritage of course but they seem in the minority.

“Dark eyes are not unheard of among Germans and especially the Irish (who have darker folks).”

Where do you get that information from Capricious? There are dark eyed and haired people in both countries but the Irish don’t have darker complected people than the Germans. Also there is a higher percentage of blue eyes in the Irish than the Germans. I think people just rely too much on stereotypes without at least trying to check for some information on the subject.

I know it comes across as a bit pendantic but your statement is inaccurate. I know some of these maps are a bit dubious but it gives an idea.

I’ve seen loads of English and have been there. There is also studies done. I’m especially aware of genetic studies and read a lot of info on the subject. A bit OT but I’ve had 3 dna tests done on myself and also have had 3 family members done. This is why some of the things said here & elsewhere about British and Irish people is very inaccurate.

I gather you are Irish Gel? You do know that the English are very similar to the Irish genetically? In fact all of northern Europeans are close genetically. Anyway I don’t want to get too OT but some of your comments give that impression.

Just waiting now for the Stormfronters to come on about how the English are Anglo-Saxons and how Germanic populations are. “rolls eyes”.

p.s. this site is confusing as hell, that’s with the percentage, you do realise that most Irish also have Norway ancestors from way back in Viking times. You are over simplifying things with the percentages.
